A Harry Potter Fanfiction~Falling For The Boy Who Lived.

Chapter Thirty-One~The Diadem.

It didn't take long to find her. "Helena? We're friends of Luna. We need your help. We need to know about the diadem, we seek to destroy it." I said. She turned around and glided towards us. She was very beautiful. "It was my mother's. I stole it. I wanted to be cleverer than her. I ran away with it. She fell ill and wanted to find me. So she sent my once lover to seek me. The Bloody Baron was my lover. I tried to hide from him. He managed to find me in Albania. I hid the diadem in the tree. I refused to go with him out of fear, despite of my love for him. He killed me, then himself out of regret." She answered. "What happened to it?" Harry wondered. Helena looked down to the floor with sadness and fear. "He was persuasive, flattering. He seemed to understand me. I did not know that Tom Riddle was going to put dark magic in the form of his soul into the diadem... I had no idea..."She replied regretfully. I looked at her sympathetically. I knew how she felt when it came to Tom's personality. "I understand how you feel. He did the same with me. He sucked me in with his understanding. I still feel guilty today. Where did he hide it? Do you know Helena?" I inquired curiously. "In a place where everything is hidden. If you have to ask, you'll never know. If you know, you need only ask." She informed us. The Room of Requirement. Of course. We thanked her before running back to the seventh floor. We asked the remaining people to leave before transforming the room.

It was the same layout as the time Harry and I hid the potion's book belonging to Snape. We were soon joined by Ron and Hermione who has destroyed the cup successfully. We started to look for the diadem by splitting up in pairs. "Up there!" Harry yelled, pointing to the horcrux on the top of chairs and boxes. As we went to grab it, we were surrounded by Draco, Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise. We duelled, Draco wanted his wand back from Harry as he had his mother's. They set the place on fire. We grabbed the diadem and escaped the huge flames caused by friendfyre. We found brooms luckily and started to fly for the exit before Harry insisted that we save their lives. Goyle had already been killed by the fire. As soon as we escaped, Draco ran off without even saying thank you. Harry grabbed the the fang and destroyed the diadem, screaming in pain as he did so and sweating as he saw a vision of Voldemort. "Nagini's the last horcrux. They're in the shrieking shack." He heaved. We nodded and made our way there.
